After losing a child, few things can be done to ease the hurt.
Quite frankly, most days all you long to do is pull the covers over your head and waste away another day. For a while, this sufficed after the death of my son. If he couldn't see the day, I didn't want to either.
Anna's Grace
It took time to discover what brought my heart comfort. One of the most unsuspecting was a donation. The following Spring after losing Weston, my husband and I decided to participate in the annual Anna's Grace Marathon in our community. This particular organization was dear to our hearts. I can still feel the tightness in my throat after hearing this organization wanted to show...
In the age of body inclusivity and self-love, why are we still facing a size inclusion issue?! It is not rocket science, and I’m sure I’m not the only mom who has had to embrace extra pounds since giving birth!
There are so many reasons these days to have a little extra meat on our bones, and for some reason, even though designers have seemingly embraced a curvier body, many stores still aren’t carrying the size.

At Red Stick Mom, we are on a journey to continuously learn about the importance of dismantling systematic racism and white privilege as a community. We’ve been happy to share in supporting various black-owned local businesses and are having conversations with our kids about race. We want to continue to show support which is why we are starting a new monthly blog series to highlight local organizations who are working diligently to serve our neighbors of color in the Greater Baton Rouge area. Our hope is to raise awareness about the great work they are already doing and share it with others.

hampr :: a Baton Rouge Mom's Dream Come True
Laundry is no joke for most of us. When there's a newborn in the house, it piles up because of spit up and blow outs. Then come the toddler years where mud puddles and mealtime lead to mess after mess. Elementary children often like to make outfit changes an Olympic sport, and we haven't even touched the topic of competitive sports and all the uniforms. Throw in the bath towels and, well, laundry is enough to send any of us over the edge on a good week. There's just so much of it and not nearly enough time or energy. Plus, it's really...
